"You know what a good girl would have done? A good girl would have stayed home instead of sneaking out of her father's compound just to get a man to fuck her. A good girl wouldn't have stabbed a man like me with a pen. And most of all, a good girl wouldn't be turned on by holding a gun to a man's chest." I lean closer to her. "You're no good girl, Ivanna." "You… you're wrong." "Go on then. Come on. Pull the trigger." *** My name is Ivanna. I am the daughter of Misha Sidorov, the head of the Krasnoyarsk Bratva. I have just graduated and I’m about to go to college. My life is perfect until Sergio Sakharov comes into the picture. He is the darkness itself. He reigns over the entire Sakharov family and by extension, the Dvina River Vory Bratva. His word is law, and his desire is absolute. Everything changes in a split second when he steals me away and holds prisoner in Tyva, a bride for his only heir. But Sergio doesn’t take no for an answer. He always gets whatever he wants and against all reason, he claims me for himself instead. He thinks I’m the perfect match for his desires and he is determined to keep me close, even if I fight him at every turn. Except, I’m no helpless pawn. I’m not innocent. I have tasted his dark side, and I want more. The don himself, the man they call the Volkov of Dvina River appeals to me in the most sinful of ways. His wickedness draws me in, and when he decides that he wants me, I’m helpless. I can’t resist him, even if it means giving myself to him. He may think he has power over me and can control me every step of the way, but I’m about to show him who the real boss is.

It was supposed to be a night like any other, but when Ezekiel Kane stumbled into a cursed ritual on Christmas Eve, the world as we know it shattered. He never meant to open it—never meant to unleash the darkness that had been sealed away for millennia. But some powers are too terrible to be contained forever, and the Devil’s breath—an ancient, apocalyptic force—was waiting for the right moment to break free. That moment is now. The night sky bleeds with blood-red clouds, and the earth trembles as unspeakable creatures rise from the abyss. Ancient gods descend to reclaim what is theirs—humanity’s last breath. The dead walk again, and the world is drowning in its own terror. There is no safety. There is no escape. As Ezekiel becomes the unwitting vessel of this cosmic nightmare, his body and soul are torn apart by forces beyond comprehension. His connection to the Book of Shadows gives him power—but that power comes at a price. The line between man and monster blurs as he struggles to control the hellish abilities coursing through his veins, knowing that every use of his power brings him closer to becoming the very thing he fears. Haunted by the ghosts of those he’s damned and stalked by a god who seeks to consume him, Ezekiel is dragged deeper into a nightmare where sanity is the first casualty, and death is only the beginning. With the help of Mara, a mysterious, fierce ally hiding secrets of her own, Ezekiel must fight to survive against horrors that defy all logic. But the gods are not the only threat. There are darker things waiting—things that were never meant to walk this earth. As the night grows colder and the horrors mount, Ezekiel realizes the truth: the Devil’s breath isn’t just the death of the world—it’s the birth of something far worse. A reckoning is coming. The sky will burn. The earth will crack. And when the last breath is drawn, no one will be left standing.
